    The Music of Robert Louis Stevenson

    Carnival of Venice

    (and song settings for O Pilot! and To the Muse)

    Thanks to Roger Swearingen for his criticism and for drawing attention to the Doyle ms.

    A series of theme and variations has been written for solo cornet, as "show off" pieces that contain virtuoso displays of double and triple tonguing, and fast tempos.
